Authorities say a habitual drunken driver from Council Bluffs caused the crash Feb. 2 near Perry that killed a Minburn woman and critically injured her 7-year-old son.
Stephen Wink, 53, was driving south on J Avenue, also known as County Road P58, when he crossed over into the northbound lane and hit Danyel Hardisty s car head-on, according to the Iowa State Patrol.
Hardisty, 39, was killed and her son, Javen Sorenson, is being treated at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics in Iowa City for a head injury, two broken legs and other injuries.
“He’s got two broken legs and his internal organs are a mess. He’s got brain swelling so they had to drill a hole in his skull so that wouldn’t kill him,” Mallicoat said. “He’s in a lot of pain. But he’s one hell of a trooper.”
The Iowa State Patrol said in a news release that Hardisty was driving north on J Avenue, also known as County Road P58, when Wink crossed over into the northbound lane and hit her car head-on. Impairment is believed to have played a part in the crash, the release said.
